ADVISORY-DEMAND DECLINE – Advisory fee income fell 48.7% to RMB30.9 mln due to weaker customer demand for advisory services
OPERATING-LEASE EXPANSION – Operating lease income rose 265.4% to RMB55.8 mln, while related equipment depreciation added RMB31.4 mln to operating expenses
FUNDING-COST SAVINGS – Active funding and liability management cut interest expense 19.8% to RMB103.8 mln, partly offsetting revenue and cost pressures
